Jose Aldo Says Conor McGregor Would Not Be Able To Hit Him

In the most anticipated matchup in history, two kings battle for one throne, as inaugural UFC featherweight champion and pound-for-pound great Jose Aldo returns to face newly-crowned interim champion Conor McGregor in the main event of UFC 194. Although, it's highly unlikely that they'll enter this fight with that in mind - more with the title in their sights.

Conor McGregor vs Jose Aldo in UFC 194 is about to go down.

"Let me see how the contest plays out", McGregor said. However, Aldo pulled himself out of the fight because of a reported rib injury, which later became a subject of controversy because of the contrasting reports from the fighter's camp and to that of UFC president Dana White.

Alone both their records and abilities combined would make for an intriguing unification title fight, however interest and anticipation for the fight have grown to fever pitch with the ongoing mental warfare and the words that have been exchanged over the last twelve-months.

His last fight with Chad Mendes attracted a record 16,019 fans at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, with live gate receipts of $7.2m (£4.76m). "I will go there and win like I always did".

He said: "I think what it boiled down to with Ronda Rousey, she has a lot of support but she also had a lot of people who were hoping she would fail".

Brett Okamoto, from ESPN.com, asked Rockhold on "UFC 194: Aldo vs. McGregor Media Conference Call" to respond to comments Weidman had made to him. I was hitting him with some shots - I had to hit him with some shots. "It could be somebody else, but you'll see me there with a gold belt, a brand new, custom-made suit and a smile on my face". It might rush him back into heavy training and the same thing might occur. I know if an exit presents itself for my friend Jose he's gonna take it. "He seems to be showing up this time, so I'm happy".
